Situated in the small village of Capulin, the park is defined by its proximity to unique geological landmarks. The landscape is dominated by sweeping vistas and the volcanic history of the region. Being located near Highway 64 and Highway 87 makes this an ideal waypoint for travelers moving between Kansas, Colorado, and Texas.

While the park maintains a rustic, laid-back atmosphere, the essential services are reliably provided to ensure that your setup process is quick and efficient throughout your visit.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw for visitors is the nearby Capulin Volcano National Monument, which is just a short drive from the park entrance. This cinder cone offers spectacular views and accessible hiking trails that lead to the crater rim. Beyond the volcano, the surrounding area is rich in history and public lands, making it a great base for those interested in geology, bird watching, or simply exploring the quiet, winding backroads that define this corner of New Mexico.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is best suited for nature enthusiasts and road trippers looking for a quiet home base while exploring national monuments.

Rented a cute little cabin. Was perfect for our family of 4 and right across from the Capulin Volcano National Monument! AMAZING stars at night in this Dark Sky area. Some road noise so bring ear plugs. Clean bathrooms!
Lori Sykes
Very friendly! Bathrooms, laundry, very very nice. We will definitely come back when we are this way again.

Don’t waste your time and money on this place. There were so many weeds and raccoon poop around the hookups they were hard to get to. They didn’t give us the WiFi passcode or the code to the bathroom doors. The men’s room wasn’t locked but there was NO hot water. They wouldn’t answer the door so I called to get the code to the women’s bathroom and they never called back. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I couldn’t give it a minus score or I would have.

Over charged us, no wifi. Not very organized. Only could use showers from 5-6. Seemed put out when asked for wifi passcode. it was incorrect so I asked again. Was very upset at me bothering her. She told me she was not responsible for the wifi. but she is the owner so who is?
